Tweak Your Sound Right on the Monitors!

Every member of the band comes through loud and clear when you have Behringer F1220A floor monitors. This 125-Watt, 1x12-inch active monitor speaker offers adjustable EQ, feedback filter, and volume controls, so you can shape every part of the sound spectrum to suit the performance venue. Hear your music the way it's meant to sound with Behringer's F1220A. A 35 mm socket makes it easy to pole-mount the monitor for use as a main PA speaker, too.

Fuss-Free Sound Checks

Accurate sound reproduction is the name of the game with the F1220A's powered floor monitor. You get 125 watts of on-board power driving the speaker's 12-inch long-excursion driver and 1-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver, to deliver everything from seriously deep, punchy lows to singing, sparkling highs.

Onboard Controls to Sweeten Your Sound

Take control of your monitor mix right on the unit, even in the middle of a performance. If you want it louder, turn up the Level dial -- the Clip LED lets you know if distortion is imminent. If you need to adjust the bass or treble, adjust the three-band EQ (High, Mid, Low) for a custom sound that works for you. During live shows, you can help eliminate feedback by simply pressing the Feedback Filter switch and turning the Frequency dial until annoying feedback is gone. Simply put, the Behringer F1220A puts you in charge of your sound.

XLR Input and Built-In Preamp for Instant Miking

Add a mic-level or line-level source to the F1220A to expand your setup from floor monitor to full-on sound system. You'll find XLR mic inputs and 1/4" line-level inputs right on the front panel. The F1220A has a built-in preamp section that allows you to connect a dynamic microphone directly and easily turn the volume up or down with a convenient Level control.

Product Description

How many times have you been in a soundcheck, one finger in your ear, your thumb stabbing the air, trying to get the sound guy to put enough of your vocals in your passive floor monitor. Suddenly, as the band tears into the first tune, you realize all you're getting from your floor monitor is a muffled, annoying mess?

The F1220A is designed to make those experiences little more than mournful memories. This 125-Watt active monitor has its own EQ and volume, so you not only have control of the output, you can also tweak the highs, mids and lows for a sound that gives you a clear, true sense of your sound. It's a proven fact that the better you can hear yourself, the better you'll play--isn't it time you got active?

Great Sound Takes Guts

Inside these loudspeakers is the equivalent of a 2-way electronic crossover, a graphic equalizer, a parametric equalizer, a mic preamp and two power amplifiers! A 12-inch long-excursion driver delivers deep, punchy lows while a 1" titanium-diaphragm compression driver gives you clean, crisp highs. They all work together with 125 watts of handling power and don't need adjustments or a degree in sound engineering.

Triumphant Transducers

Every stitch of these loudspeakers is built to deliver, but the fact is that their transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part you actually hear. While some manufacturers are okay with putting off-the-shelf transducers in their boxes, they custom-design and build them from scratch. Not only do they wind their own voice coils, they grow the trees that are processed into the paper pulp that becomes the cones. They even machine the frames and backplates. Behringer's quality is truly under control.

Speaking of Control...

The F1220A doesn't just sound great. It also gives you instant control of your monitor mix, even in mid-performance--something passive monitors simply cannot deliver! Need more volume? Turn the LEVEL dial until the desired volume is reached without activating the CLIP LED. Sound too bassy or trebley? Just reach down and use the three-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) to tailor a rich, exciting sound. They've even given you a line of defense against live sound's greatest enemy. If you're experiencing feedback, just press the Feedback Filter switch, then slowly turn the Frequency dial until feedback is eliminated.

Anytime, Anywhere You Choose

This monitor doesn't just cater to musicians. It's excellent for anyone with a need to be heard! With just one F1220A and a microphone or MP3 player, you can set up an instant sound system. Thanks to the built-in preamp section, you can connect a dynamic mic directly to the F1220A and raise and lower the volume with the Level control. Suddenly, it's showtime in no time at all. The F1220 also has a 35-mm socket so you can easily mount it on a pole for use in a PA system.

Awesome Sound, Unbelievable Value

The F1220A is designed to give your next crazed rant/public announcement/synthesizer recital exactly the monitor or PA sound you want with minimal prep time. Suddenly a monitor sound that once was only available in a recording studio is available in virtually any live setting. Loaded with a slew of incredible features but never loaded down by a heavy price tag, isn't just an excellent addition to your sound system; it's an excellent way to have enough cash left over to start buying all the other sound essentials.

"Monitor or Main and so much more."

Sound:
These sound great - I was reluctant at first, did a small show with an incredible fiddle player, vocalist & guitar & they worked great - so many ways to make these monitors fit the need.
Feature:
These monitors have them all - controls for tone and volume right up front, feedback limiter & a mount for poles should you want to use these as a simple main - they have direct in & out
Ease of Use:
My wife could figure these out on the first try!
Quality:
These seem really well made, have only had them for a few months so far & not one problem
Value:
I have not seen anything else close in price that matches these.
Manufacturer Support:
Manuals were easy to find online to download (I keep all manuals on my laptop) - came with a manual also, have needed no tech support yet.
The Wow Factor:
These are great looking monitors - the controls are slick & the design is pretty cool, nice curves.
Overall:
I started with 2 of these and now have 4, these are like the Swiss army knife of monitors. For a simple show with no sound man, you can dial in close & then if needed the on-board controls could be tweeked on stage. If you wanted to use these for a simple main speakers they can for a small setting. You could even use these without a mixer & plug a mic or instrument directly into the monitors. These monitors are a win-win for sure. They sure Keep me Smilin'
